WONDERING HOW IN THE HECK TO MAKE YOUR BOOKCASES LOOK ORDERLY AND UNCLUTTERED? ITS AN AREA THAT CAN HOLD LOTS OF STUFF....BUT DO WE NEED TO TOTALLY FILL IT??? SO HOW DO YOU STYLE A BOOKCASE?

PERSONALLY, I LIKE TO DISPLAY PHOTOS, BOOKS, AND DECORATIVE OBJECTS.......BUT I DON'T LIKE IT LOOKING CROWDED....SO, I LIKE TO GROUP " LIKE" THINGS TOGETHER...I COLOR COORDINATED MY STACKS OF BOOKS SO EACH STACK WORKS AS A UNIT RATHER THAN AN INDIVIDUAL BOOK....BECAUSE I'M NOT A FAN OF CLUTTER AND THIS SEEMS TO HELP!

TOO MANY PICTURE FRAME STYLES IS A NO NO. INSTEAD I PICK ONE OR TWO FRAME COLORS AND THATS IT!

IT'S NICE TO ADD A COUPLE OF VARIOUS MATERIALS LIKE GLASS, SILVER, OR CERAMIC FOR INTEREST.......

BASICALLY, THE MOST IMPORTANT THING I TRY TO REMEMBER WHEN I AM STYLING A BOOKCASE IS CREATING A GOOD BALANCE WITH COLOR AND PROPORTIONS OF THE "STUFF".
